Rocky Mountain Club B5

As my supply is down to just red or black (which I have a decent number of each if you;re interested) I know there is the desire for different colors and all that.

When we did this last year some colors were basically sold out by the time they were made and that's how we ended up with a bunch of red and black left over.

So please just post up what color you are interested in (lettering only) and how many stickers you be interested in buying.

As I recall we have to commit to x number but we can pick a few different colors. I will do my best to accommodate the requests you guys have, but keep in mind we aren't going to print 25 pink stickers because JR wants one for his new A4 :P (just teasing).

So post away and we'll get it sorted out.

Running total as of 05/14/2007:

WHITE: 38

SILVER: 28

RED: 13 (number reduced because current stock has been used)

BLACK: 26 (number reduced because current stock has been used)

BLUE: 26 (Nagaro-ish hopefully, though we need to confirm if we can or not)

I would be down for 4 white and 4 silver. I need to update the GTI and Carla informed me that she wanted and liked having the white ones on the Passat. (I could swear that she did not want stickers on her car, so I removed them!) My mind is slipping. :oops:

For the colored ones, can we make sure there's some bleed on the colors? I have had to sharpie the edges of my black ones a couple times because of white print on top of the letters showing through. Be nice too if they were cut from the color vinyl except for the custom colors of course. Just my .02

Andrew we can always look into a another vendor. We used this one because the price was right, and other than a few things like you mentioned they have held up pretty well. Not to mention Ian had stepped up and took care of everything last year which was incredible.

If you, or anyone else, has a lead on a vendor that can make them we can entertain that. In the end it's what's best for everyone. I would just want to get an estimate, like is there a minimum purchase amount, and all that.

I do not have to time to look for other options, so that's why I am asking for any recommendations, or if anyone has the time to go out there and shop it around that would be great.

Remember too, we get what we pay for ;) I could have pushed up the quality of the decals last time, but I was hesitant to push beyond $.75 per decal. We can definitely get a better quality print from my source.

Ok, well I am fine with whatever you guys want, I assume Jon will probably want to adjust his numbers. I think, and Ian you can correct me if I am wrong, last time we had to buy a minimum of 25 of each color?

I thought it was a minimum of 10 for each color, and we ended up with ~14 because of the way the sheet printed, but I cannot say for sure. 10 doesn't sound right - 25 sounds "righter". I can call him later today and ask.

edit: I think the minimum was 10, but we ordered 25 of each (plus getting some extra from the print run). Here's the original thread: Last year's stickers thread (http://www.rmcb5.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4143&highlight=stickers)

Just spoke with the printer. If we have a specific color (blue) that we would like, he would need either the CMYK color or the Pantone color values, or the .ai file with the color already imbedded in the image. He's taking a look at the pricing that we worked out last year as there were a couple of different levels based on the vinyl used (if I recall correctly).

Jay, did you send me a single decal file last year? I'm trying to remember if we sent him files with the colors in them, or one file and told him the colors that we wanted.

We sent him one file then just chose a few different colors. Since they were basic, Red, White, Black, I think Silver we just went with what he had. So for Nagaro, I can take a sample from a nice high res photo I guess and get the CMYK and we can see how it looks.

I don't know if you guys have already ordered them or not but if you can still add I'll take 4 red, 4 black and 4 blue if possible if not just let me know if you have any left over and i'll get those!!!!! :D :D

Okay, totals are updated in the first post, I never did check my current quantities, I will try to remember to do that tonight and those that want from the existing stock of Red and Black and duke it out. ;)

I will post up those numbers when I figure it out.

Otherwise, now it's a matter of getting the blue figured out, and costs and quality. I know those numbers will change a little if we increase costs but I am basing all of this on our previous quality and costs.

You guys will be fine, I will update the totals on the first page. I just needed some good hard totals to get an idea of what we would be ordering. I think they way these print out there is a good chance we will have extras on all of em. :)

Sorry guys, I called John today and there was a mix up in communication - he never got the "Go ahead" to print - most likely my fault. I called him early this morning, and they may be done this afternoon, Monday at the latest.

Spoke with John today and they are printed, they just need to have the surrounding material pulled away. He's predicting being done by Friday as this process takes some time.

Just a note on why I'm not pushing my sponsor too hard: Last year we did 4 colors of approximately 14 stickers each for $75. This year we're doing 5 colors at approximately 25 stickers each, and it's costing us only ~$135.

Anyway, I am psyched about stickers. I can paypal you directly Ian, or if you want, maybe we can hook up for lunch or something. Next couple of weeks are a bit wacky for me, I start corporate training at Parker Hospital on Monday, so my lunch availability is a bit decreased.

Yeah, sorry everyone, I do feel really bad since they are all ready. I haven't been around this week with getting stuff ready for company and our trip. We are heading out this weekend and Ian leaves town when i get back in town.

Even if I can get them today or tomorrow I wont be able to get them out to anyone until late next week. Again, I really do apologize. Timing has just been bad.

Speaking of stickers. Due to our kitty situation and a number of other things I am wondering if someone can step up and deal with getting these suckers out to the patient people waiting?

I still need to fork over the cash to Ian which is no problem, but I will not have the time to contact or mail these out to everyone as I had previously planned to do.

If you anyone has interest in helping out, please drop send me a PM. Again, I will pay Ian for the stickers, but I need someone who can collect the money and deliver the stickers to everyone. It is a volunteer opportunity and the delivery of stickers could be via mail, GTGs, drive by tossing out windows etc etc.

I have started contacting folks in order of their original post dates. Feel free to send me a PM if I haven't contacted you yet. It will take me a few days to work through the list and I'm sure I will inadvertently miss some folks.

Here is the list I have of who wanted what, the D indicates Delivered and P means Paid and C means contacted (as in sent PM or email). If you have a D and no P lets talk. Also, if you have neither lets talk!

Also, on hand I am short on White ones, but I have some that need to be cut still, so I apologize for that. When they run out I'll make note of who still needs them and get cracking on the cutting.

bump, I still have some stickers for folks. I have sent off some PMs and not heard back so I will still hold those stickers for the remainder of the month then if I don't hear anything I will open them up.

Also, going forward due to some issues payment issues stickers and any other future merchandise will no longer be delivered without receiving payment first. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is best for everyone if it works that way.
